This is a blog all about me.
It started as a blog about my diagnoses and treatment of a rare condition called chiari malformation and my long recovery from the required brain surgery.
It is now a blog about me, my life and things I enjoy!

Positive Feelings!

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS TO SAY TO OURSELVES WHEN WE NEED TO BE ASSERTIVE:

- I am not a victim.- I have no duty to be perfect.- If I can't decide which of two choices to pick, perhaps my choice should be something else.- I have a right to make up my own mind.- I have a right to ignore the advice of others, even if I asked for that advice.- Respecting other people's views does not mean I have to agree.- My time is valuable, too.- I deserve the time and space to heal.- I am a very valuable person.

A LIST OF RIGHTS:

- You have a right to put yourself first.- You have a right to make mistakes.- You have a right to be the final judge of your feelings and to accept them as legitimate.- You have a right to have your own opinions and convictions.- You have a right to change your mind or decide on a different course of action.- You have a right to protest unfair treatment or criticism.- You have a right to interrupt people in order to ask for clarification.- You have a right to negotiate for change.- You have a right to ask for help or emotional support.- You have a right to feel and express pain.** Mentally I'm coping, emotionally I'm adjusting, and physically, well, two out of three ain't bad. **
